1-28-2021 Passed Ball Show. John opens up this show by talking about how the Mets may have become the favorites to land free agent pitcher Trevor Bauer. John would like the move, but it may be to early to declare the Mets as the only horse in the race. John mentions six other MLB teams that would be very good fits and could realistically make him an offer. All it takes is one other team to change the expectation. John expresses his disappointment over the Baseball Writers Association of America as a whole. John believes it is time to ask why the voting process for baseball Hall of Famers has changed so much over the years. It is almost like the writers are trying to disqualify each candidate while the strict evaluation has not been a staple of the voting process since its inception. John talks about some of the flaws of early Hall of Fame members and points out the BBHOF has enshrined worse. John then talks about how the quarterback position in the NFL may be about to go through a major overhaul as maybe as much as half the league may have a new signal caller by the start of next season. In his conclusion, John mentions a couple of trade possibilities for the New York Mets which share the same goal- freeing up left field for Marcell Ozuna to be a free agent target.
